Mah Jong Player's Companion

This is the essential companion for the dedicated Mah Jong player who also enjoys the social aspect of the game. Since Thompson & Maloney's previous books on Mah Jong, a wide range of hands from many parts of the world has been sent to them. This book is a cross-filed reference guide where over 120 hands, illustrated in color, can be quickly identified by following the flip-top headings on each page. A full synopsis of each hand is included. Descriptions of the subtleties of the strict Chinese & Japanese games are not given here, because this book deals with a Western version of Mah Jong which has been developed by players thirsting for greater variety. It contains hands already played in many countries.Thompson, Patricia A. is the author of 'Mah Jong Player's Companion', published 2006 under ISBN 9781422352342 and ISBN 142235234X.
